Ah.. Maybe you have hit on something. The remote printer is an HP with a JetDirect lpd server. Let me know if I've got the theory right: the sh in the local printcap simply sets a flag that gets propogated to the remote lpd, correct? What option does lpr -h send? What option can I put in the printcap to emulate the -h command line option then? -andy On Tue, 24 Nov 1998, Patrick Gardella wrote: >Perhaps the remote printer doesn't have the :sh: capability? > >My remote printcap entry does not have it, but at the remote side, it does. > >Patrick > >On 24-Nov-98 Andy McConnell wrote: >> OK.... >> >> Tried that(:sh:\ on its own line), killed the lpd process, and restarted >> it (by hand).
